Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ferrous phosphate preparation, in particular to a preparation device for ferrous sulfate solution. Background Technique

[0002] Driven by the high demand for lithium iron phosphate in new energy vehicles, energy storage, etc., the demand for ferrous phosphate materials has increased rapidly. In the industry, the process route of producing ferrous phosphate using ferrous sulfate as the iron source accounts for about 85%. Ferrous sulfate is a by-product of the titanium dioxide production process, and 3.5 - 4 tons of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate are by-produced per ton of titanium dioxide. Therefore, using the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide as the raw material to produce ferrous phosphate has low production costs, reduces the environmental pollution of the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide, and realizes the comprehensive utilization of resources.

[0003] Our company encountered the following problems when using the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide as the raw material to produce ferrous phosphate: First, the feeding and solution preparation efficiency of the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide is low. The by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide is usually obtained by freezing crystallization and filtration separation to obtain crystals containing free water, which are prone to caking and difficult to feed. The existing process is to dry the raw materials containing free water or add a crushing process during feeding to disperse the raw materials before feeding, but this increases the production cost and energy consumption of the enterprise. Second, it is difficult to automatically control the concentration of ferrous sulfate solution. The main reason is that there are composition differences in the raw materials of the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide, and the stacking time will also cause changes in the moisture content. The existing process is to sample and analyze the concentration of each kettle of the prepared solution and adjust the concentration to be qualified, and the blending cycle is long. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new device for preparing ferrous sulfate solution. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a preparation device for ferrous sulfate solution to solve the problems in the existing process that the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide needs to be dried or crushed before feeding and blending, and the blending concentration is difficult to be automatically controlled due to the composition differences of the raw materials.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A preparation device for ferrous sulfate solution, including a dissolution tank, a pipeline mixer, and a fine blending tank. A dissolution tank stirrer is arranged inside the dissolution tank. A water inlet pipeline is connected between the dissolution tank and the pipeline mixer, and the water inlet pipeline is used to transport water to the dissolution tank and the fine blending tank. The dissolution tank is used to dissolve the by-produced ferrous sulfate heptahydrate from titanium dioxide in water and obtain a saturated ferrous sulfate solution; the dissolution tank is connected to a saturated liquid pump, and the saturated liquid pump is used to transport the saturated ferrous sulfate solution to the fine blending tank.

[0006] A steam pipeline is connected to the dissolution tank. The steam pipeline is used to transport steam to the bottom of the dissolution tank. A temperature monitoring and control module is provided on the dissolution tank to control the temperature of the dissolution tank according to a preset temperature. A flow monitoring and control module is provided on the incoming water pipeline. The flow monitoring and control module is used to control the flow rate of water delivered to the dissolution tank and the fine dosing tank according to a preset flow rate.

[0007] The basic principle of this solution is as follows: (1) Feed demineralized water or phosphoric acid iron washing water into the dissolution tank. Start the agitator of the dissolution tank. Use a forklift to put the by-product heptahydrate ferrous sulfate crystals of titanium dioxide into the dissolution tank. Feed low-pressure steam into the bottom of the dissolution tank to control the temperature of the solution and prepare a saturated ferrous sulfate solution at a set temperature. (2) Feed the saturated ferrous sulfate solution and demineralized water or phosphoric acid iron washing water into a pipeline mixer in proportion. After mixing evenly, enter the fine dosing tank for storage or continuously pump the prepared ferrous sulfate solution to the phosphoric acid iron production device.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: In the existing process, the by-product heptahydrate ferrous sulfate of titanium dioxide needs to be dried or crushed first and then fed for preparation. Moreover, the preparation concentration is difficult to be automatically controlled due to differences in raw material components. This solution uses a large dissolution tank to prepare a saturated ferrous sulfate solution to solve the problems of low feeding efficiency of the by-product heptahydrate ferrous sulfate of titanium dioxide and the inability to continuously prepare. It uses a mixer + fine dosing tank to solve the problem of automatic control of the ferrous sulfate concentration. In the phosphoric acid iron preparation process, the feeding efficiency of the by-product heptahydrate ferrous sulfate of titanium dioxide is high. The by-product heptahydrate ferrous sulfate crystals of titanium dioxide can be directly fed and dissolved without drying or crushing, reducing processes and lowering production costs. At the same time, the concentration of the ferrous sulfate solution can be automatically controlled, and the ferrous sulfate solution can be continuously and automatically prepared, avoiding frequent sampling and analysis.

[0009] Further, a same pipeline mixer is connected between the incoming water pipeline and the dissolution tank and between the saturated liquid pump and the dissolution tank. The pipeline mixer is used to mix the saturated liquid and water evenly and then feed them into the fine dosing tank. The pipeline mixer is used to mix before the saturated solution and water enter the fine dosing tank, improving the mixing efficiency.

[0010] Further, the rotation speed of the agitator of the dissolution tank is controlled at 30 - 60 r / min.

[0011] Further, the water is demineralized water or phosphoric acid iron washing water. Recycling the water resources in the phosphoric acid iron production process is green and environmentally friendly.

[0012] Further, a fine dosing tank agitator is provided in the fine dosing tank, and the rotation speed of the fine dosing tank agitator is 10 - 30 r / min. The fine dosing tank agitator is used to stir the solution stored in the fine dosing tank to further homogenize the solution.

[0013] Further, the preset temperature value is 5 - 10 °C higher than the water temperature in the incoming water pipeline, and the preset temperature is in the range of 40 °C - 80 °C.

[0014] Furthermore, the preset flow rate is determined based on the concentration of the saturated solution at the set temperature of the dissolution tank and the concentration of the finished ferrous sulfate solution in the fine preparation tank. Since the solubility of ferrous sulfate varies at different temperatures, corresponding adaptation is required.

[0015] Furthermore, several feeding ports are provided around the dissolution tank. Simultaneous large - batch feeding is convenient and ensures that the actual amount of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate in the dissolution tank is more than the hourly consumption, guaranteeing continuous preparation.

[0016] Furthermore, a solution pump is connected below the fine preparation tank. The solution pump is used to transport the finished ferrous sulfate solution outward. It can continuously pump the prepared ferrous sulfate solution to the subsequent iron phosphate production device. Description of the Drawings
